I Am Elegant I Am Oh So Very Very Elegant — David Shrigley
I Am Elegant I Am Oh So Very Very Elegant (2021) is a screenprint on Somerset Satin paper, signed and numbered from an edition of 125. The work presents Shrigley's hand-lettered title text repeated with escalating, slightly desperate insistence — the words enacting the elegance they claim even as the repetition exposes the absurdity of the assertion.
David Shrigley (born 1968, Macclesfield) is a Turner Prize-nominated British artist whose deadpan text-and-image works combine deliberate crudeness with genuine philosophical unease, using humor as a delivery mechanism for observations about existence, failure, and absurdity.
